Since it's October, I'm doing what lots of other artists online are doing, and drawing from a daily prompt list

Day 18 of #Arttrober is Chun-Li, one of the fighters of the Street Fighter videogame franchise. Specifically, Chun-Li as depicted in the Street Fighter Alpha games.

Even I know Street Fighter! Though I haven't played any of the recent ones. Or any fighting games, really.

I had to work on this one while travelling today, so frankly I'm glad it didn't come out a complete mess.

Day 19 of #Arttrober is Reika, a character from the manga/anime Gantz.

I did watch some of the anime adaptation, but it didn't really appeal to me—at least not at the time.

I think I need to rethink how I draw glossy surfaces and fabrics. I'm never really satisfied with the result. I guess I should do more art study, and develop a new technique. When I have more time perhaps.

Day 20 (20!) of #Arttrober is Scarlett from G.I. Joe.

G.I. Joe was something I was aware of as a child, but wasn't nearly as interested in as Transformers toys and media. So I really don't know much about the characters and storylines.

Another drawing tomorrow. Eleven to go.

Day 21 of #Arttrober is Shinguji Sakura from the Sakura Wars videogames.

Sakura Wars is another videogame series that passed me by, I'm afraid, so I know almost nothing about it.

Nevertheless, I do quite like drawing characters in traditional Japanese garb, and I got to practice drawing a character in a dynamic pose, so it's all good.

Day 22 of #Arttrober is Komori Aimi of the manga Shadow Lady, in her guise as the eponymous character.

Until yesterday evening, I'd never even heard of Shadow Lady—but apparently it was actually quite a popular manga in its day.

I do quite like discovering new mangas (and shows and games and so forth) from doing these drawing prompts, even if I rarely find the time to investigate further.

Day 23 of #Arttrober is Jean Grey of X-Men fame.

Jean Grey has a lot of costume options, but I decided to play with fire and draw one of her Phoenix incarnations.

Looking through my recent posts, I make a lot of comments about not really knowing certain characters or shows or comics... but even I know Jean Grey and the X-Men. They tried to bring the Dark Phoenix saga to film twice after all.

Day 24 of #Arttrober is Ayane from the fighting game series and occasional volleyball simulator Dead or Alive.

I think Dead or Alive might be the major fighting game franchise I know least about, in comparison to the likes of Street Fighter, Tekken and Soul Calibur. In any case, I went for Ayane's 'classic' look for this prompt.

Day 25 of #Arttrober is Faye Valentine from the anime Cowboy Bebop.

Cowboy Bebop is an old favourite of mine, though it's been a while since I last watched it. It might be time to do that again, given that it's one of the few animes I own a physical copy of.

There was also the live action remake, but unfortunately I never got an opportunity to see it—mainly due to not having a Netflix subscription.

Day 26 of #Arttrober is the Sorceress from the cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Though I recall watching a lot of He-Man as a child, I don't actually remember much about any of the characters other than Skeletor and He-Man himself. I don't recall the Sorceress at all.

I *do* remember the slightly weird 'Masters of the Universe' film from 1987.

Day 27 of #Arttrober is Princess Daisy from various Super Mario games.

I'm not sure why I decided to draw her looking so very unimpressed with everything.

Hmm... I think I've probably spent more time watching other people playing various Mario games (World, Kart, Golf, Party...) than I've spent actually playing them myself.
